Yes and no; yes, most of the guys here who might have owned a project WW or FT have most likely done it up themselves by now and it sounds like that is the case. Also I can't imagine what condition a WW would have to be in to go for $1500 but it would either need a new playfield or new electronics, I suppose.
Having said that, if anyone was going to sell a project WW or FT for $1500, you may well find out about it on here first.
